2014 Map of Woodruff

About this map

The high mountain valley of the Bear River anchors this 2014 topographic study of Rich County, Utah. The settlement of Woodruff serves as the focal point, situated at the intersection of W Center St and S Highway 16. The surrounding landscape is defined by a sophisticated system of irrigation and water management, including the Sidehill Ditch and Pump Ditch, which support the agricultural life of Woodruff Pastures. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Woodruff Cem and the Eastman Family Cem, the latter situated near the winding path of Woodruff Cr. The terrain rises sharply to the east into the Crawford Mountains and to the west toward landmarks like Limestone Peak and Sugarloaf. A network of localized water storage, such as Limestone Reservoir and Higgins Hollow Reservoir, illustrates the reliance on seasonal runoff from the higher elevations of Thousand Dollar Rdg.
